Sec. 101-8.716  Complaints.



    (a) Any person, individually or as a member of a class (defined at 

Sec. 101-8.703(e)) or on behalf of others, may file a complaint with 

GSA alleging discrimination prohibited by the Act or this regulation 

based on an action occurring after July 1, 1979. A complainant must file 

a complaint within 80 days from the date the complainant first has 

knowledge of the alleged act of discrimination. However, for good cause 

shown, GSA may extend this time limit.

    (b) GSA considers the date a complaint is filed to be the date upon 

which the complaint is sufficient to be processed.

    (c) GSA attempts to facilitate the filing of complaints if possible, 

including taking the following measures:

    (1) Accepting as a sufficient complaint, any written statement that 

identifies the parties involved and the date the complainant first had 

knowledge of the alleged violation, describes the action or practice 

complained of, and is signed by the complainant;

    (2) Freely permitting a complainant to add information to the 

complaint to meet the requirements of a sufficient complaint;

    (3) Notifying the complainant and the recipient (or their 

representative) of their right to contact GSA for information and 

assistance regarding the complaint resolution process.

    (d) GSA returns to the complainant any complaint outside the 

jurisdiction of this regulation, and states the reason(s) why it is 

outside the jurisdiction of the regulation.
